Q doesn't relate (much*) to proper ring position with flared cranks. Bending the derailleur cage can lead you into a vast thicket of trial and error and more error until you finally die howling in frustration and anguish, but perhaps one could think of bending the outer forward tip of the d cage just a wee bit.
*Q is affected largely by arm flare. That's why you can have a 145 mm bb and a 160 mm Q, or a 113 mm bb and a wider Q on the same bike with different crank designs (as I've done).
